How to Create a Garden Inspired Valentine’s Day Tablescape

  • Facebook
  • Email

Are you looking for some Valentine’s Day tablescape ideas? Here is how I created a garden-inspired Valentine’s table using the most beautiful blooms.

I’ve created a garden-inspired Valentine’s Day-themed tablescape this year.

If I think back to the last time my husband and I went out to dinner on this romantic holiday, it would be 12 years ago. It was our first Valentine’s together.

We’re not big on crowds, and always thought it was more fun to make dinner together and enjoy each other’s company in the privacy of our own home.

Valentine’s Day-themed tablescapes almost always have centerpieces with flowers. I’ve always mixed reds, pinks, and whites together.

Garden-Inspired Valentine’s Day Centerpiece

In the past, I’ve always used store-bought tulips or roses.

But I decided to go all out this year and pick out flowers from the local florist. Here are the beautiful blooms that I chose.

  • Red and lavender roses
  • White, red and pink tulips
  • White, pink and purple snapdragons
  • Eucalyptus
  • African Violets

Here’s a tip for you. Always ask the florist if they will charge you for a floral arrangement rather than charging by stem. It saved me about $30!

The white plates, wicker chargers, and red napkins showed on my Valentine’s Day tablescape are from Homegoods. The champaign silverware and white and gray runner are from Target.

I went on a little shopping spree in Poulsbo, WA last weekend and bought these cute faux white chocolate-covered strawberries at Design Home and Garden, one of my very favorite stores. The white bowls are vintage.

These pretty red glasses are also from Design Home and Garden. They really added a pop of color to my table.

pink cupcakes

Adding baked goods like the mini cupcakes shown on this white cake stand is a sweet touch. I tell myself every year that I will make homemade cupcakes for the following year. Somehow it never happens and I buy them from the store.

We try not to have too many sweets in the house, but Valentine’s Day is an exception. I will admit I have already eaten 2 of these chocolate mint cookies. Please don’t judge me.

This will most likely be the only time I decorate with reds until next Christmas, so enjoy.

    Gorgeous table, Kim. I pinned everything. Your flowers are amazing and I’m going to try something similar … but mine won’t come close to this perfection. Sigh. My husband and I celebrate Valentine’s Day with dinner at home too. At least when he’s not traveling. Let the young and newly in love have the sought after reservations! xo

      Hi Juliet. I hear you about your husband traveling. Mine does too and he will be gone this year. We’ll just have to celebrate another time. Thank you so much for the really sweet words and I appreciate you pinning my pics. Hugs to you.

      Thank you so much, Cindy. I am usually not a fan of the color red either but I am trying things that are not in my comfort zone. Hugs my friend.

    Kim, your Valentine table setting is gorgeous … plus that view. No restaurant could offer such ambiance … pandemic or no. Your wicker vase and woven placemats work so well with pink and red. I hope you and your husband enjoy a lovely Valentine’s Day! xo
